I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes that 25 March 2007 was the 200th anniversary of the passing of William Wilberforce’s bill for the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade;

(b)

commends the Government for continuing its work to eradicate the modern day version of slavery, the trafficking of humans for the sex industry in Australia; and

(c)

congratulates the Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans for its work in the fight against trafficking, including its publication warning women in Thailand about the dangers of working in the Australian sex industry.

Question agreed to.
